It was a bit odd that the scene was stored per window but not the view
layer. The reasoning was that you would use different view layers for
different tasks. This is still possible, but it's more predictable to
switch them both explicitly, and with child window support manually
syncing the view layers between multiple windows is no longer needed
as often.
* Main windows show a topbar and statusbar, and select a workspace and
scene. They are created with Window > New Main Window.
* Child windows do not show a topbar or statusbar. These follow the
workspace and scene of their parent main window. Created with Window >
New Window or View > Duplicate Area into New Window.
* The purpose of this change is to support multi monitor setups where you
just want to put more editors on the other monitors. Without multiple
topbars and statusbars, working within a single workspace and scene.
Creating multiple main windows is intended to be a concious choice to
do different tasks in different workspaces and scenes.
* Note these changes do not currently affect how the operating system
treats the windows.
* When changing the workspace, the layout in all child windows changes.
This makes sense if we consider child windows to be just a way to
extend the main window across more monitors. In some case it may be
useful to keep the same layout though, we can add an option for this
depending on user feedback.
This is the same approach as 98a0bcd425
applied to soft body simulation. In short, CoW copies share the point cache,
and treat it as read-only except when the depsgraph is active.
There is now a manual refresh button on the panel to update the list
of objects in case it changes, and it also gets refreshed when changing
the collection or toggling the use count option.
This is a bit more manual but the previous code of refreshing the
list while evaluating the depsgraph was unreliable.
This also fixes it to take properly take into account visibility, and
to work with linked collections for which index writing was missing.
To prevent the pointcache from being copied-on-write too (and requiring
copying back), the cache is now shared between the original and
evaluated scenes. Reading from the cache is always allowed; running the
sim and writing to the cache is only allowed when the depsgraph is
active.
Some pointers have moved from RigidBodyWorld (RBO) to
RigidBodyWorldShared (RBOS). writefile.c copies some pointers back from
RBOS to RBO so that the file can still be opened on older Blenders
without crashing on a segfault.
The RigidBodyWorldShared struct is written to the blend file, because it
refers to the PointCache ID block.
The RigidObjectShared struct is runtime-only, and thus not saved to the
blend file.
An RNA getter-function is used to hide the new 'shared' pointer. As a
result the Python API hasn't changed.

Key shortcuts and explanation about how to use the tool should go to the
status bar, but other info can in the header so it's near where the user
is working. This distinction has not been made yet for all operators.
- Use per context menu lists to support menu editing.
- Support for different kinds of menu items since this may be needed
in the future. Only use operator types for now.
H hides selected objects, Shift+H hides unselected objects, and Alt+H
reveals hidden objects.
This hiding state is distinct from restrict viewport and render, and
meant for temporarily hiding objects without affecting more persistent
collection hiding.
Object hiding is per view-layer, same as selection. It affects the
viewport and any preview renders in there, but not final renders.
In the outliner, different icons are now used for temporary hiding, and
restrict viewport and render. Hidden objects are greyed out.
Remaining design issues:
* For lamps we probably still want to keep their effect on the scene,
currently they are fully disabled by hiding. Arguably mesh lights or
even objects being reflected or casting shadows are not that different
but perhaps the special lamp exception from local view should remain.
* We need a feature still to disabled this hiding for specific viewports,
for render or animation preview where you want to see the entire scene
while working in another view.
* We need a new icon for restrict viewport, for now it uses a grid similar
to the 2.4 icon.
* Hiding objects does not preserve selection state as it did in 2.7,
it's probably convenient to support this again?
Previously, render slots were hardcoded to a fixed amount.
With this change, render slots now are stored in a list. Therefore, users can add and/or remove as many slots as they want.

In the Python API, any panel becomes a subpanel by setting bl_parent_id
to the name of the parent panel. These subpanels can contain advanced or
less commonly used settings.
This commit restores support for Motion Path drawing in 2.8 (as it wasn't ported over
to the new draw engines earlier, and the existing space_view3d/drawanimviz.c code was
removed during the Blender Internal removal).
Notes:
* Motion Paths are now implemented as an overlay (enabled by default).
Therefore, you can turn all of them on/off from the "Overlays" popover
* By and large, we have kept the same draw style as was used in 2.7
Further changes can happen later following further design work.
* One change from 2.7 is that thicker lines are used by default (2px vs 1px)
Todo's:
* There are some bad-level calls introduced here (i.e. the actgroup_to_keylist() stuff).
These were introduced to optimise drawing performance (by avoiding full keyframes -> keylist
conversion step on each drawcall). Instead, this has been moved to the calculation step
(in blenkernel). Soon, there will be some cleanups/improvements with those functions,
so until then, we'll keep the bad level calls.

This is a first step to have correspondence of legacy derivedDeform
within a new formulation. Only base ground for now to support file
reading, copy-on-write remapping and such.
The problem was that the particle system modifier was reading ob->derivedDeform
during modifier stack evaluation. Due to the mesh -> DM conversion this was no
longer set leading to wrong results.
In fact we don't really need the deformed mesh, just the original mesh topology
for face/poly index remapping. So the solution is to use that instead.
Don't store pointers to ViewLayer in the workspace, only names. Add specific
relation type since the generic mechanism makes the code hard to follow.
Integrate with pointer restore for undo and library remapping code to avoid
data going out of sync.
Also add relation automatically if there doesn't exists one yet in
BKE_workspace_view_layer_get, because in general it's really hard to ensure
it will exist when making arbitrary scene changes.

Was breaking static override chaining (static override of a linked
datablock that is already a static override in it original lib file).
Dummy mistake, thanks to @dfelinto for finding the bug.
